Struggling with bills?

by Laura Johnston

Residents are being advised to check if they are entitled to a reduction in their Council Tax to ensure they aren’t making over payments.

You could qualify for the Council Tax Reduction Scheme if you’re on a low income, if you’re receiving benefits or if you’re out of work.

The Council Tax Reduction Scheme helps you to lower your monthly payments.

You can claim for Council Tax reduction if you are liable to pay Council Tax for the property that you live at. The amount that you can claim is based on your family circumstances and income and capital for you and your partner if you have one.

Further information about the Council Tax Reduction Scheme, along with eligibility and how to apply online, can be found on the Council’s website.
